Lidský pozorovatel (konkrétně lidské oko) v kosmu pořád ještě dokáže konkurovat automatickým senzorům. Viz konkrétně pozorování dopadů meteoritů na zastíněné straně Měsíce. -

Artemis 2 has changed orbits to the free return orbit that will take the machine to the moon and back. The new orbit is a long figure 8 looping behind the moon back to earth. To return home, Artemis 2 will need to complete a de-orbit burn and atmosphere reentry.

Thank you to Tea People and BBC for proper stories about Artemis 2 mission. Trans Lunar burn for midnight UTC? Very Brit voice said “midnight” #MannedSpaceflight #Artemis2

BBC News reports that Artemis 2 crew has ligned up their tin can for the trans-lunar burn later today. BBC has audio from key evolutions.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/116333083280119749
The best and more detailed #Artemis2 coverage on Fediverse is definitely by @AkaSci - frequent updates, lot of details, attached images, embedded videos, quoted statuses. Structured as long, numbered thread.
There are many firsts on this #NASA mission. The story about first toilet in deep space seems to be accessible for general public, just like the story about relative diversity of the crew, compared to the Apollo missions.
One of the less understood firsts is the current parking orbit, high ellipse going slightly beyond ring of geosynchronous satellites. This orbit saves energy, because orbital maneuvers are most efficient, when motors are fired in the pericenter of ellipse - you can test this with Kerbal space program. Unmanned missions routinely use these kind of maneuvers, but they are rarely used on manned missions, mostly because there were no deep space manned missions at all for 54 years.
No other human exploration activity except deep space flights was paused for such a long time. The great voyages of 15th and 16th centuries were separated by mere decades. Early balloon flights were incredibly dangerous, but people kept trying. The rationale for sending small, automated probes is overwhelming, but the ability to move somewhere as human being is still important part of human experience: we are not just information processing machines. We need to learn to move also our bodies.

Tea People , NASA is counting Down to a 2220 UTC liftoff. #artemis2 #mannedspaceflight #CanadaAstronaut
The Commonwealth has skin in the game. All 4 are former Naval Aviators and Navy captains
Today’s flight is an out and back taking 10 days from engine start to parachute release.
Cape skies look a bit gamey.

The European Service Module has three types of engines that work together, each with a specific role during the mission. A single main engine delivers the large changes in speed needed to send Orion towards the Moon. It is supported by eight auxiliary engines, which are used for orbital corrections and can back up the main engine if needed. For precise control, 24 smaller reaction control system engines, arranged in six pods, are used to rotate and orient the spacecraft.
